Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
